Add tooltip to font awesome icon

Question

Has anyone here added tooltips to font-awesome icons?

I have the following jsfiddle, but cannot seem to find a guide to add tooltips to the icons.

In regards to this question, this can be easily achieved using a few lines of SASS;

HTML:

CSS output would be:

a[data-tool-tip]{
    position: relative;
    text-decoration: none;
    color: rgba(255,255,255,0.75);
}

a[data-tool-tip]::after{
    content: attr(data-tool-tip);
    display: block;
    position: absolute;
    background-color: dimgrey;
    padding: 1em 3em;
    color: white;
    border-radius: 5px;
    font-size: .5em;
    bottom: 0;
    left: -180%;
    white-space: nowrap;
    transform: scale(0);
    transition: 
    transform ease-out 150ms,
    bottom ease-out 150ms;
}

a[data-tool-tip]:hover::after{
    transform: scale(1);
    bottom: 200%;
}

Basically the attribute selector [data-tool-tip] selects the content of whatever's inside and allows you to animate it however you want.
